Solid jacket. Super comfortable. Seems like it will last a life time.

Burton AK 2L Cyclic Gore-Tex , Hombre Camo , Size L
Rider stats: 6’2”, 205lbs, “athletic build”

I purchased this jacket after previously purchasing the Burton Radial Goretex jacket (which I subsequently returned after receiving).

I can say this .. the Radial jacket was nice for what it was, however the AK Cyclic jacket was top tier comparatively.

*PROS: The fit is amazing, very flattering while still giving you tons of room to layer anything from a standard next to skin base layer all the way upto a 700 fill down puffer jacket underneath while still having plenty of room for mobility.

The Goretex on this jacket feels incredibly rigid and durable. I’ve owned 2L Goretex garments before and something about this one tells me it will withstand more seasons and days of riding than I could even hope to throw at it.

The inside is superrr comfy mesh , taffeta, and a sort of silky liner that left me just wanting to wear the jacket while lounging around the house. Haha the construction of everything from the zippers, to the cuffs, to the snow skirt are next level in their form and function.

*CONS: Unfortunately I was hoping that based off of the product image that the jacket was going to be more of a black camo when in actuality it’s much more of a grey camo. This may or may not be a con to you , but with my color preference based on the rest of my riding gear I was a little bummed.

There is also no dual zipper for the main zipper on the front body, when oddly enough there are dual zippers on the pit zips. I found this odd seeing as how the jacket is a little on the longer side and when sitting down I find it more comfortable to be able to unzip the jacket from the bottom about a foot or so so I don’t have this lumpy wavy bundle all sncrunched up on my waist

Lastly, there is no mesh in the pit vents. I’m sure if you have them open you are not planning on wiping out hard enough to get any snow in or anything but I was a little disappointed to see that.

All in all I give this jacket a 4.5*/5*, only for the zippers, mesh, and. color (which again are simply my preferences). Otherwise I can’t recommend this jacket enough and am extremely happy with my purchase. So happy in fact that I decided to order to the AK Cyclic 2L pants in “Burnout” to pair with it.

Hope this helps!
